4 backup quarterbacks Jets should avoid in free agency

The Jets need a veteran backup with quality starts. Hundley doesn’t have many despite nine starts in 2017 for the Green Bay Packers. He’s thrown only nine touchdowns to 13 career interceptions and completed only 59.1 percent of his passing attempts in his 18 appearances since 2015.

Hundley will be a cheaper option but likely not the best option considering the other backup-level players on the market. He’s a veteran in that he’s been in the league since 2015, but he doesn’t have the requisite experience the Jets should be looking for in a backup.
